NOT UNTO ANGELS. Hebrews 2:5 The writer of Hebrews moves from Hebrews 1:14 to Hebrews 2:5 with the idea that the earth is under the authority of the Son of Man. The glory and honor that will surround the Lord Jesus Christ in the coming kingdom show the gap between the Creator and the created. It is in the world to come that those who remain faithful to the Lord will enter the fullness of salvation. God has not given authority over “the world to come” to angels, but to the Lord Jesus Christ, who introduced this new revelation when He came to earth. This revelation is greater than the one the angels delivered at Mount Sinai.
The Lord holds a position infinitely higher than that of angels. Looking ahead to the millennium when the Son of God comes to reign as King of kings, He will also possess the spiritual authority of His eternal priesthood. He is a priest forever, “after the order of Melchisedek.”
According to Psalm 103:20, angels are mighty in strength, fulfilling the word of the Lord and obeying His voice. They ministered to Him when He was on earth; they descended and rolled the stone away from the tomb where He had been laid. They also opened locked doors for the apostles and doors and gates for Peter and Paul.
